For those seeking a peaceful hidden gem ideal for little ones, look no further than this calm, sandy beach on Lake Huron, south of Port Elgin. With several sandbars extending into the lake, diminishing the effect of undertow, these shallow waters are definitely child-friendly. White sand, swing sets and washroom facilities make this relaxing a beach for both adults, teens and children. The only con to this beloved family destination—no beach shelters. Be sure to come fully prepare with hats, sunscreen and a beach umbrella!
